These are dice for the now forgotten medieval game of Truth-or-Wedgie. This game was staggeringly popular during the reign of Ethelred the Unready, but the fad ended when people started to realize that the dice nearly always came up 'wedgie.'

You've heard of the useless machine? This is the More Useless Than You machine. When Marvin Minsky was at Bell Labs in the 1950s busily inventing the machine that turned itself off when you turned it on, his colleague and rival, Professor Farnsworth Marvel Parsons made this masterpiece: Press a button, any button at all, and the machine slowly, almost imperceptibly... does nothing at all... ever.

It's a pogo-stick for fence-sitters. It's for those times when you just don't want to overcome your ambivalence.

It's a Happy Masterâ„¢ Wet Dog Collar for apartment dwelling dogs. Worn at bath time it keeps the dog from shaking all the water onto the chagrined owner before they can reach for the towel

Her ideology is every bit as damaging as the ideology of Marx. The world is too complex for simplistic answers of any ilk. You can't make an efficient engine from just fire, or from just water, but you can make a mighty fine water cooled internal combustion engine that will get you down the road as fast as you could want. Capitalist Utopias just become corrupt feudal or slave economies as surely as Socialist Utopias grind themselves to a halt. Properly regulated markets provide enough wealth for all as they grow the innovators very wealthy. Ideologues are very dangerous people, especially charismatic ideologues.

I've long heard of this. To quote Firesign Theatre, "Look! It's Working! It goes in and out like crazy! I think I'll name it after Nancy...I'll call it the Automated Pushover!"

What question isn't "What was it," it's "What is it?" 'What it is' would would be pieces of broken ceramic or ostrica, once used to ostracize people that the democracy of Athens felt were a danger to the state. Each citizen had one vote. They would write the name of their intended victim on such a shard of ceramic and place it in a voting box. The person with the most votes was ostracized. The most famous citizen of Athens to meet such a fate was General Themistocles who had saved Athens from the Persians just a few years before.
